Time, DST and Schedule

There is a thread on how to set time zone. It says Advanced-Security-Schedule then drop-down. It is obsolete. The setting is in NTP. You guys need to remove obsolete threads. It is wasting my time. 

 

I have the system block all services at 1:30AM. The time zone is correct and system time is correct, but this morning, it blocked services at 12:30AM. What's going on? 

 

Also, please tell me how to block service from 11PM to 5AM, crossing midnight? The router doesn't seem to understand that. Are there ANY software engineers working at NetGear?

    What region are you located? Most of US region, there was a time change backwards 1 hour this weekend. Make sure your router has updated time. Power cycle the ISP modem and RBR. 

     

    NTP settings can be found under Advanced Tab/Administration/NTP Settings. Be sure your time zone is correct and that "Automatically adjust for daylight savings time" is enabled. Make sure the time here is correctly seen on your router.

      The time change hiccup piece was wrong. My bad. My son said it didn't work. It worked properly, just not long enough for him. 

       

      Once I saw the mention of NTP in another thread, it was easy to know where it is. Otherwise, how am I supposed to know what NTP is and that timezone would be under NTP when the confirmed solution says it is under Schedule? You guys need a way for users to feedback obsolete solutions. 

       

      How to block service from 11PM-5AM?
